Annual, sick, casual and emergency holiday in one place — balances always up to date, requests approved in a click, and unpaid days deducted automatically in PAYE payroll.
Part of the ETaxFlow HRMS — sharing employee records with payroll and accounting.
Set up annual, sick, casual and emergency leave, plus any other types your contracts use, each with its own rules.
Every employee's balance is tracked against their entitlement, so you can see days used and days left at any time.
Employees request holiday from the Employee Self-Service portal instead of email or paper forms.
Holiday requests wait in the approvals inbox for managers, alongside overtime and attendance corrections.
See days used by leave type for the month or year, so you can plan cover and spot unusual absence.
Unpaid holiday is deducted automatically in PAYE payroll, so payslips match what was approved.
Holiday tracked in email threads and spreadsheets goes wrong in predictable ways: balances drift, two people in the same team are approved for the same week, and unpaid days are forgotten when payroll is run. With holiday inside the HRMS, the request, the balance check, the approval and the payroll deduction all happen in one place. Employees can see their own balance before they ask, managers approve from one inbox, and HR no longer reconciles a spreadsheet against payslips at month end.
Most UK workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks of paid holiday a year — 28 days for someone working five days a week, which can include bank holidays. Part-time and irregular-hours workers are calculated differently, so check GOV.UK for the rules that apply to your staff.
This is general guidance, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm current requirements with GOV.UK.
